Elvis is a 2-year-old Pit Bull/Shepherd blend who is looking for a new home. We named him Elvis because of his tiny cleft lip, which gives him a permanent and endearing Elvis sneer. Elvis is a sweet, shy boy but not too shy to try and climb into your lap; apparently no one ever told him he is too big to be a lap dog. He gets along well with other dogs, and is neutered, leashed-trained, and current on vaccinations. Come visit Elvis at the shelter, 9436 Schaefer Road (658-4821; www.facebook.com/CASIpets).

Jackson is a 4-year-old Shepherd/terrier mix that just loves to play. He can dance on his back legs, and just try and get the rope from him; the tug-of-war is on. He has some very large bat-like ears — the better to hear you, when you call him. He is house-trained, weighs 30 pounds, is current on shots and micro-chipped.
